"Honestly, as I look at our nation’s capital, I feel more frustrated with Republicans than Democrats ... [B]ipartisanship has taken us to the brink of bankruptcy. It is not bipartisanship we need, it is principle."

"Pragmatists" in the GOP - like Richard Lugar - (like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins) - could always be expected to go along with the Democrats' destructive agenda - and voice misgivings while doing so (making them "moderates").

That pragmatism is what got this country in the awful mess it's in.

Richard Mourdock is having none of it. He chooses principle over "getting along."
